"H-how, where did you learn to make this?" Octavia Asked.
The mare stood there with a shocked expression. In front of her were several dishes that just by looking at them would make your mouth water even if you were already full. Even Vinyl couldn't bring any words to describe what she was seeing. Based on their salaries they would have needed to save up an entire year's worth of bits to afford what was in front of them.
Both of them slowly turned their heads towards me. I let out a sigh as I mentally prepared to tell them how I got good at cooking. Not because it was a long story, but because my throat was going to feel like somepony was shoving a cactus in it.
I was outside Ponyville on a small hill with Lilly. Today we trying to figure out how to improve my teleportation. I was still having the sickness effect on me whenever my time frame between teleports was too close.
Are you sure this will work?
Lilly just gives me a smile and shaped her wing to resemble a thumbs up. She had given me another piece of instruction to just picture myself as if I was going there by hoof. It made some sense but she didn't look so sure.
"I have no idea!" she said.
I closed my eyes and pictured my self walking back home to the kitchen to make my self a snack. Suddenly I felt myself being tossed around. I opened my eyes and found myself going through some vortex. The entire thing was pulling me to the other end of it. Is this what happens every time I teleport?
I DON'T THINK THIS IS SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN!!!!!!
When I finally feel the solid ground underneath my hooves. I look around to see that I was in a kitchen, but it wasn't my kitchen. There were other ponies with me. They didn't notice me appearing beside them. They were all dressed in chef's uniform there were many teams of ponies some had yellow-colored collars while others had purple, green, red or black.
"ALRIGHT YOU WORTHLESS WORMS! TIME TO GET COOKING," a white and short blond maned stallion yelled.
He looked so familiar for some reason. I felt like I've seen him on the cover of the newspaper promoting some weird competition. It was reportedly so harsh on the contestants that they would cry and wet themselves. I looked over to my right and read a large banner.
"TARTARUS KITCHIN"
Welp, I'm dead
Since my scarf had purple I was mistakenly put in the purple team. The other ponies did not question my presence but made me go to work.
I had no experience cooking. I was forced to learn on the go. I was preparing dishes that I couldn't even pronounce. I was getting called out every 10 minutes. Every dish I made barely made it past the judge. It was thanks to me being an Ender that I was able to learn to cook this quickly. Now if only I could improve my sense of direction like this.
Despite my cooking skill increasing drastically, in the end, all of my teammates backed out because they could not stand being yelled at any longer. So I was left on my own. After undergoing so much torture and being told not to wear my scarf while I was cooking I had somehow made it to the final round on my own.
It was me and the yellow team. They kept giving smug looks since I was all alone. I was just given some chicken, something that I did not eat in this body, and a bunch of spices. While they were given the task of preparing something much simpler. I was to the left of the judge was a griffin. Looking down at the raw chicken I understood who I was feeding.
Luckily I was used to be a creature that ate meat too. So I put my mind like I was a human again eating meat. When the time came to present our dishes I was confident. The griffin took one look at the other team's dish. He took one bite and spat it back out. When he got to me his attitude changed. He looked like he was experiencing an orgasm.
So now I'm known as the greatest chef in all of Prance.
Oh, and I found out I was reported missing after I teleported back to Ponyville. Forgot I could teleport halfway back to Ponyville, well probably halfway the wrong direction, but I still felt good about winning. Twilight gave me another of her lectures about disappearing soon after. Hopefully, she won't find out what I did.
"Oh yes, I heard about the greatest chef going missing...can't believe it was you, I thought you got kidnapped by those whores," she said in disgust on the last part.
I nodded my head to my side and shrugged. She understood and made her way to the table. Vinyl soon followed suit.
"By the way, your disguise sucked man. How were you able to fool anypony with that?" Vinyl said.
She did have a point. All I had was a mustache and a different hairstyle. I had also adopted a Prench accent, it really killed me to speak like that. I barely spoke to anypony there. When I did speak it was to tell somepony that I was low on something.
"Oh and about your job," she said somewhat unsure.
"...?" I tilted my head to signal her that I was curious.
"You're fired for not showing up this week"
Crap...oh well, I'll join the weather team.
Lilly teleported in ready to 'translate'. "I'll get another job as weather pony so I can seduce that rainbow pony," and then she teleported away front the table and onto a chair. "Oh this looks good," she said as her mouth began to water.
"Oh? Really?" she asked and to which I nodded back at her.
She began to eat the dishes I prepared. The looks on both their faces told me that they were indeed enjoying it. Octavia looked like she wanted to devour it all in one swoop but did not due to her lady added. Vinyl on the other hoof did just that. She was munching away on whatever she grabbed.
"Oh yeah, I got some tickets for the next Wonderbolts show," she said with a mouth full holding 3 tickets that came out of her mane with her magic.
"Oh? Well that's splendid" she smiles
Who are the Wonderbolts?
Expecting to here a mistranslation I turned to Lilly who was no longer at her seat. She was on the couch snoring away. I wounded why Silver was okay with her staying with me. After she was her sister. Did Enders not care for their family members or something?
Oh well, no translating for the rest of today.
After half an hour later, Octavia and I cleaned up and put Lily into her new bed that was in my room. She looks so cute when she's not being a total pain in the flank. Speaking of flanks, her's was still blank.
Still no cutie mark...she'll get hers eventually.
I get into my bed and start to drift off to sleep and hoping that I won't get kidnapped by Gray and Silver, again.
